After talking with the South Korean junket operator Dowinn Group at first, Villar ultimately made the decision to move forward without a foreign partner.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"403\" data-end=\"483\"><em>\u201cNo more partner. It\u2019s just us,\u201d<\/em> Villar confirmed in a statement to InsiderPH.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"485\" data-end=\"800\">Notwithstanding the difficulties facing the Philippine gambling industry, Villar is hopeful for sustained expansion. Melco Entertainment is thinking of selling City of Dreams Manila, and Bloomberry Resorts has reported dwindling profitability for Solaire Resort. But Villar is confident in the market\u2019s ability to bounce back.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"881\"><em>\u201cWhen you enter that kind of business, you have to think long-term,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"933\">Casino to Boost Villar\u2019s Expanding Portfolio<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"1127\">The casino will be housed within Vista Mall Global South in Las Pi\u00f1as, a property owned by Villar\u2019s group.

The integrated resort aims to boost tourism and real estate values in the region.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1522\" data-end=\"1829\">In addition to gaming revenue, Villar sees the casino as a key part of his 3,500-hectare Villar City development, a massive mixed-use project spanning multiple cities. He also highlighted plans for an 80-hectare site in Sucat, stating, <em>\u201cIt\u2019s an 80-hectare property in Sucat. I also want it to appreciate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"2066\">Villar aims to open the casino by mid-2025 but remains cautious about exact timelines.
